Jacksonville State had 12 players selected to the 2015 Preseason All-Ohio Valley Conference Football Team at the league’s annual Media Day on Monday, when the Gamecocks were also picked to repeat as champions in 2015.

During the press conference three weeks ago announcing the historic BP settlement and windfall for the state, Gov. Bentley repeatedly said, “The $55 million a year to the General Fund is fantastic but it will not solve the state’s long term financial woes. It only accomplishes about 12 percent of what we need. We’re still going to have a Special Session to address the need for new revenue and we will call it for late summer.”
